To be brief, it's much larger than the Earth, yet much much smaller than the Sun.
Well first off, Saturn is a little tricky to measure because it is not completely spherical. Saturn, along with the rest of the Jovian planets, or Gas giants, is an oblate spheroid. What this means is that the planet is flattened at its poles and bulges out at the equator where its rings surround it. The polar circumference of Saturn is approximately 170,702 km, about 8.5 Earths. Its equatorial circumference is about 189,241 km, almost 9.5 earths. This compared to earth's mean circumference, about 40,000 km, makes earth pretty puny to Saturn. If Saturn were a Basketball, Earth would barely be the size of a small marble.Compare that to the sun's whopping circumference of 4,379,000 km, this would take about 72 Saturns lined up next to each other to make a ring around the sun. It would take 109 planet Earths to do the same!

It takes almost 30 Earth years for Saturn to go around the sun once. So, 1 year on Saturn = 29.6 years on Earth. When you turn 29 and a half, Saturn will be back in the same place it was the day you were born!

Is earth the 4th largest planet?
It all depends. If compare it to the size of us then it is huge but in space it would be considered tiny. Jupiter is 500 times its size. The Sun is 500 times Jupiter's size and a red Giant is the size of 500 Suns. So it would not huge or even medium in space and not even the sun would be considered large!
